Our History

For 50 years, health care professionals have relied on South Coast Radiology to provide exceptional medical imaging services and the highest level of patient care to the Gold Coast and Tweed communities.

Radiologist Dr David Jones opened the practice that would become South Coast Radiology at 125 Nerang Street, Southport in 1967. Two years later, Dr Peter Ryan joined the practice forming Jones and Ryan Radiologists, evolving into South Coast Radiology.

About Us

Since 1967, South Coast Radiology has evolved to become the largest radiology group on the Gold Coast, and one of the largest and longstanding radiology organisations in South East Queensland. Our longevity is a testament of our commitment to provide exceptional patient care, continuous development and investment in state-of-the-art technology, and innovation. South Coast Radiology remains the Gold Coast’s leader in diagnostic medical imaging.

South Coast Radiology employs over 300 staff, including radiologists, radiographers, nuclear medicine technologists, sonographers, registered nurses, administrative staff, couriers and clerical practice support teams.

Since the company’s inception, South Coast Radiology radiologists have contributed valuable services to public health initiatives through consultant services at the Gold Coast University Hospital, RPA Hospital, Queensland Children’s Hospital, and BreastScreen Queensland at Southport.
